Whether you’re starting a new business, in the early stages, looking to scale up an established business or simply looking for some great business support, the Boost Business Advice team can help.
Jon Dingoor, a specialist in commercial business and general management with experience in the UK and internationally, talks about his role in supporting Lancashire businesses.
